A GALA dinner for Sir Bobby Robson has sold out.
The Night of All Knights is on October 30 with all the 1,000 seats
taken in two weeks.
Sporting personalities have pledged to support the event to help
Sir Bobby, pictured, raise money for his cancer charity.
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson and Ashington born Sir
Bobby Charlton, will sit down with the former England and United manager
and speak with Des Lynam. There will also be performances from singer
Mick Hucknall at the dinner at Rainton Meadows Suites in
Houghton-le-Spring on October 30.
North East opera singer Graeme Danby will sing a song written for
Sir Bobby.
Organiser Michael Roseberry said: "We knew that this was
likely to be a popular event, but to have sold out this quickly is
amazing."
Sir Bobby said: "I'm looking forward to the
evening."
